You know we haven’t had a NYSpeed member lately going “OMG IM GOING TO BUILD A 800RWHP ROTOR SETUP YOU WILL SEE”
Then they smoke 2-3 motors and move on.
Over the years of UBRF/NYSpeed we had a few

I remember way back on the Mischief Invasion video when they did a part on a built rotary car. They were going to take it on a Rally but it got such terrible MPG’s and was so unreliable they couldn’t!
Anyone else remember that?

There’s a lot of people out there (and on this website) that really love shitty technology and shitty cars. I’m sure there are at least three people that are upset…

Hi, I’m thinking of getting rid of the oil injection setup and pre mixing in the two stroke oil. Any thoughts? What ratio should I use? Thanks for the input!

Agreed, definitely sad to see this. I have yet to own one, but some day I’ll have an RX-7 and it will definitely be rotary. It just wouldn’t be one without it. People can hate on it all they want, but it was just another factor that added to the uniqueness of the RX-7, especially FD’s.

I have a 5.3L rx7 sitting next to a 13b rx7, I’m DDing the 5.3 because it gets better gas mileage. LOL
The rotary is kinda neat, but that’s about it.

I very much enjoyed my '91 RX7…
